Some MFDs / chartplotters may also support further control options via a dedicated video / camera application, which must be compatible with ONVIF (Profile S). The range of camera control options available is dependent on the support that the MFD / chartplotter manufacturer has implemented for their video / camera application.

Note

It is recommended that you use a dedicated video / camera application in order to:

  • Avoid Web browser session expiration.
